You really get the sense that most Homestuck fans take Homestuck more seriously than the author himself sometimes does.

Maybe it's just that he made a horrible first impression, but Maddox has always struck me as a huge jerk, and not even the funny kind. Like, just sort of a bully who occasionally does something humorous by chance. But again, I don't have a lot of experience with his stuff, because the first thing I saw (an "I Am…

"Fun" Internet Game: go on deviantArt, do a search for "[your name] the hedgehog," make that your profile picture as a joke, get dozens of friends to worry about you!

Well in that case we need a new lable, since the one you're using can be very broad depending on who's defining it. What about… "groany"? Like, for the bronies that are groan-inducingly creepy.

No no, that's an anthropomorphic polar bear pirate! My idea is pirates who are humans, and also furries. Like, they sail the seas, raiding ships while dressed in fursuits and going "Yiff, matey!"

HEY! Stand back! I remember some of the really awful leetspeaking trolls' typing quirks, and I'm not afraid to use them for self defense!

That's pretty much the joke. The author doesn't really take anything seriously, but seems to find immense pleasure in pretending to. He once wrote a multi-part epic about this one time he and his friends went to Olive Garden to spend the $150 dollars he was supposed to use to have someone paint a portrait of his soul…

Was one of those planets they conquered a reference to Tiny Plaid Ninjas?

Kris Straub wrote several horror stories based mainly around his weird irrational fears like doors needing to be open or closed all the way. http://photofreecreepypasta…

Maybe there's a common ancestor all fursonas are descended from?

I mean, it's not like you need to say anything to the people you DO kill when you have the chance.

"I caught this enormous Man of War Jellyfish because it reminds me of myself."

I plan to!
EDIT: I should clarify that I was responding to your first comment in this thread, which in hindsight looks like it was possibly not serious.

I imagine it being a sort of swaying, animated italics that invokes the feeling of eyes rolling.

Honest Question I'm Too Worried/Lazy To Look Up Myself: What does "yiff" even mean? It sounds like a miscellaneous animal sound or something innocuous like that, but I'm cautious to use words I don't know the meaning of because they all inevitably turn out to be innuendo.

You mean Halloween?

I'm currently in a sci-fi RPG where people have elevated cephalopod intelligence to human levels, and they are a playable race. It's fun, my profession is "ink calligraphy artist"

Oppression isn't a competition! Any substantial amount is bad, I can sympathize with multiple people at once.

Who knows? I just find the amount of emotion people can devote to things they have no interest in by way of the ones who do bizarre. I can't get all worked up about stuff I don't care about; the most I can do is laugh at the weirdos and ignore them with a certain amount of pity. They rarely bother me. But then I see…

I know what you meant, don't worry! I also hate people who care strongly about stuff that I think is silly.
